The Five Arrows Hotel

Stopped here for dinner in August, got the last table & the food was truly delicious. Lovely cocktails, & choice of wine. Surroundings & staff were lovely but the food was exceptional. The burratta was delicious as was the bread. The beef bourguignon pie was delicious as was the trout… the dessert was also good. Really enjoyable evening

Wholly unsuitable for any one with a disability, visible or invisible. The one and only accessible toilet is now a free for all, assuming you can get there; down 2 ramps, 2 bumps, or several steps, across the cobbles and up a step to then queue behind staff and the multitude of the world’s humans who will happily and selfishly use the ONE AND ONLY ‘accessible’ toilet for their convenience. Oh, parents with babies who may need changing you had better join the queue. Next they will be removing the assistive equipment as they will be facing a law suit because someone who has no need or knowledge has used the equipment and injured themselves. I am sure there are many other negatives to this establishment but I’ll leave this here.

My wife and I stayed here as part of a birthday weekend away. I booked the hotel based on positive reviews and also figured that, at £275 for the night, it should be awesome. It isn't - it's a rather mixed bag unfortunately. It's an entirely nice pub - the staff are friendly, the building is lovely, the restaurant is decent. The room we had was a really good size in an outbuilding so it had a little sitting room area and a four poster bed plus a bathroom. Is it worth the very much boutique price of £275? Not by a long way I'm afraid. Whilst the room wasn't dirty, it wasn't exactly clean.... it was incredibly dusty - if you lifted the valance sheet a little to expose the bedframe there was, at a rough estimate, *years* of dust on the bed frame, on the tops of the frame of the four poster bed and if you looked at the light fitting / anywhere towards the ceiling you were faced with a fair few cobwebs and dust. There were two shower heads (a rain shower and a hand). The hand shower was caked with mould and the silicone around the bath / tile grout was similarly in need of a refresh. Sheets, towels etc were all spotlessly clean as you'd expect but the attention to detail in a £275 room really wasn't there. The meal in the restaurant was very nice - I'd give that four stars. It was 'as expected' price wise for an up-market pub and the quality / service was decent. Breakfast has to be ordered - you fill in a form the night before with the time you want it and what you'd like from a limited menu. Unusual but not a major issue however the order still came out wrong despite it being written down the night before. We had to ask for milk for the (ordered) cereal and they completely forgot the toast (got it after asking at the end). My wife was brought a full English rather than poached eggs on toast as requested. The quality of my cooked breakfast was fine but nothing special which was disappointing considering the meal from the previous night being rather better! If you're after porridge, pastries, croissants etc then forget it - the choice is OK but a little old fashioned and again not in line with the pricing / positioning of the establishment. The do make eggs benedict and a couple of other choices but there is a small supplement beyond what you've already paid..... Upon checkout, we noticed a £7.50 'room cleaning charge' on the bill. We expressed our opinion that this is highly unusual and said that, considering the room wasn't actually clean, this was really not called for. The lady apologised, thanked us for our feedback and took this off / reduced the bill by £30. She told us the regular housekeeper was off and that they were relying on a 'younger team'. I gave no comment to this but frankly if you're running a place and have a new team, I'd respectfully suggest that educating them on what's expected would be a better approach than throwing them under the bus when a customer complains. Waddesdon Manor entry is free if y

Really nice hotel and setting in waddeston. We arrived early as we were visiting waddeston manor and the staff checked us in early which was very accomadating of them. Room was very clean and the staff were really helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone.

We held a lunch party to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary at the Five Arrows, on 30th June 2024. From the moment we made the decision to hold the party, Adam was completely on the ball, with helpful suggestions and advice. On the day itself, Maggie and Jeferson and their team handled everything fantastically: highly attentive without being intrusive, nothing was too much trouble. Glasses were never allowed to be empty and the canapés and food were beyond superb. For anyone thinking of holding an event at the Five Arrows, I can’t recommend it highly enough. For us, it was a completely stress-free and very enjoyable day.

We stayed in one of the hotels room right next to the main road, it’s awfully lound and nosing. Day and night. The curtains are not blacked out, didn’t have good sleep at all. Woke up at 6am not able to sleep at all. Avoid booking the room right next to the main room. Not worth it when you need a good night sleep. It’s awful feeling. Very disappointed ☹️

Booked this restaurant for my husbands birthday. Not a great choice - more like a pub than a restaurant. No space in the garden to have a drink - full of the shorts and tee shirt brigade or teens prom night, meal not great and service poor. We are limited in choice of restaurants as many have closed near us - sign of the times.

Stayed for one night en route home from a trip up North. We were impressed with the hotel, everything was up to a good standard, Our room #9 was in a converted stable and very comfortable, we had dinner in the restaurant which was excellent. Breakfast was to a good standard and all the staff we met were friendly and efficient. We took advantage of the free entry to Waddesdon Manor.

Booked a dinner and it was delicious! I have not eaten in here for a while and it really was lovely, staff welcoming and we didnt' feel rushed. Venison and the beef pie were chosen , so tasty, hot plates and cooked to perfection! I reccomend. and great value for money when you compare with the dreadful souless Akeman Inn at Kingswood.
